Kissed Us All Around.

Some little time ago a young lady,
who had been teaching class of half
grown girls in the Sunday school OF
DR.. B. S church, Brooklyn, was call
ed away from the city, rendering ii
necessary to fill her place.
The superintendent, after looking
over his available material for teach
ers, decided to request one of the
young gentlemen of the congregation
to take the class
1t SO happened that the young man
upon whom fell the superintendent S
choice, was exceedingly bashful-so
much so, in fact, that he insisted upon
the superintendent going and present
ing him to the class. Accordingly
the two gentlemen appeared on the
little platform, and the superintend-
ent began: young ladies, wish to
introduce to You Mr. c., who will in
future be your teacher. 1 would like
to have you tell him what your for
mer teacher did, so that he can go
right on in the same way
Immediately demure miss of ii
years arose and said: ''Ihe first thing
our teacher always did was to kiss us
all around From the Portfolio of

Robbers at Work.

Last Friday morning during the
absence of the male members OF the
family three masked robbers entered
the house of Peter Hahn, in Juniata
township, Huntingdon county, and
demanded of the female members of
the household such money as was in
the house. While the robbers we're
at work the men returned. George
Auker, Hahn's adopted son shot at
one of the robbers with his rifle, but
missed him, whereupon the despera-
do fired on Auker with his revolver
inflicting a fatal wound in his left
breast about an inch from the heart.
After Auker was hurt he knocked the
robber down, took his pistol from
